Now a part of gambling and professional sports history. Porter did himself a favor by thinking that while betting, he can maneuver the game as he's a player of that bet of his own.
"The NBA also found that prior to the game, Porter disclosed confidential information about his health status to "an individual he knew to be an NBA bettor." A different individual associated with Porter also bet that Porter would underperform March 20 as part of an $80,000 parlay the bettor placed with an online sports book".
And this is getting spicier, a parlay of $80k.. That's sick and he'd really do anything he can to win that bet and not the game itself if he's betting against his team.
